Modeling and Simulation of a Photovoltaic Generator Based Non-Linear Backstepping Control for Maximum Power Point Tracking

EasyChair Preprint no. 2972

Abstract

Solar energy is considered to be one of the most promising alternative energy sources,
but it has the problem of low efficiency due to varying environmental conditions.
In this paper, we propose a no-linear backstepping method of control to look for a maximum
point of the MPPT power, Lyapunov’s method is used to archive the stabilization objectives,
Comparison with perturb & observe and climbing controller is provided to show the
performance of the proposed controller under abrupt variation of the environmental
conditions.
A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) based on a boost converter driven by a
Backstepping method, is used for extracting the maximum power from the solar photovoltaic
generator.
The modeling and simulation of the system (photovoltaic generator, buck converter,
Backstepping) is then made with Matlab / Simulink software.

Keyphrases: Backstepping control, DC buck converter, Lyapunov method, PV solar
